SO HOW'D IT GO?
Great recipe, especially since my pizza cravings come on sporadically. I'v tried so many variations of this dough, but my favourite has to be when I added about 2T of maple syrup (maple is key!) to the yeast/water mix instead of standard white sugar. Interesting flavour for sure!
Just adding another good review here. I've made this many times now, and each time it turns out slightly different to the last, while still remaining equally delicious! Thanks very much for the recipe!
This was super easy and turned out well. I threw in some basil and oregano for a little extra flavour. My only quibble is that it seemed a little bit dry, but I quite likely was over on the flour / under on the water so that may have impacted things. I'm going to fiddle with proportions as I'll certainly be making this again to see if I can sort that issue out.
Everything it said - easy, quick and very yummy! My husband thought it was too "doughy" but he hasn't met a pizza crust he didn't dislike for some reason. I thought it was great. Thanks for the great recipe!
This really was great and my whole family loved it! thanks a bunch ;)
this crust was so easy to make, i was completely satisfied with the outcome! i love it, i love it ,i love it :)>>>
Okay, okay. Last time I said I wouldn't use this recipe anymore but I couldn't resist. I made it again 2 days ago, this time doubling all ingredients EXCEPT for the yeast. I also used whole wheat flour. I put it in the fridge (maybe for 1-2 hours can't remember) and it REALLY puffed up (I think this has to do more with using just 1 T of yeast rather than the fact that there were 2x the ingredients ). It still didn't look like dough (it looked too wet to me) but I rolled it out anyway. This time instead of pre-baking for 5 minutes I did 10. Also, as I was grating my toppings I kept it in the oven longer. In fact, up until I had it in the oven with all toppings I had it in/out just because I wanted to give the crust a chance to bake enough. The result? FINALLY a decent crust. It was a bit too thick though because I didn't roll it out thin enough (I thought I did) but this time it actually baked properly. Next time, I will use the original amount of ingredients but half a tbsp of yeast and roll it out thinner. Of course, I will pre-bake the crust longer than 5 min too. So now I must say that this TRULY is a GREAT recipe. Thanks :)
I did bake it separately but only for 5 minutes like the recipe says. I did not bake directly on the rack. I think maybe I didn't roll it out thin enough but I read some other reviews saying not to roll too thin. Even right now I have it in the oven at a low temp but with the top covered so that I can bake the crust more without burning the toppings :S
Okay so maybe I was too generous in my last review. I made the pizza crust AGAIN today and it was STILL too doughy. Yet the toppings were well done. I have to dump this recipe. :(
Do you bake the crust separately first? I bake it separately for about ten minutes on a sheet pan, then add toppings and bake directly on the rack til the crust is golden and toppings are done.
